With an S, not a C

Well, I feel the need to start a blog. Mostly because everyone on Facebook is probably tired of listening to me rant about the things that matter to me...which usually end up being about my religion, school, love, or all of the above. I'm a pretty open person, so why not be open on a blog? I guess I have a lot to say to the world, yet when I'm given the opportunity I forget everything. So this first post is going to be all about who I am, where I've been, and where I hope to be headed.
The name's Spenser, with an S, not a C. Yes, I'm a girl, and yes I'm named after a boy. President Spencer W. Kimball actually. Though when I was growing up I would lie and say I was named after Princess Diana Spencer...for some reason being named after a princess sounds a lot better than being named after a prophet.
I grew up in Rochester, NY, and though we moved out to Utah when I was six, New York will always be home.
I am a very loud person. It's not that I'm an attention seeker, or that I'm insecure, I'm just a loud individual, but I'm working on it!
I am not afraid of a whole lot of things. In fact, I'm only afraid of one thing, and one thing only. But I guess that's for me to know, and you to find out if you ask.
I'm an open book. I am not afraid to tell people the truth, or tell people my story, but I'm not just going to go up to you and tell you my inner most thoughts, but if you ask, I will tell.
I have a thing about pinky promises. I personally believe that the pinky promise is the biggest promise you can make. Here's my logic. When we're little, making a pinky promise is like taking on a double dog dare, you HAVE to keep it. And as we grow older those pinky promises never really change their meaning. You see parents pinky promise their grown children all the time, because it means something greater than just a normal promise. So if you ever make a pinky promise with me, and you break that pinky promise...well I won't hate you, because I don't hate anyone, but I probably won't be your best friend.
I LOVE music. I play guitar, violin, uke, and I sing. I've been singing since before I could talk, and I haven't stopped since. I'm alright, people say I'm good, but I don't run around telling everyone that I sing. But I love it, a lot.
I've only been in love once, it was stupid, and an absolute disaster, but it was there and I wrote quite a few songs about it.
I have LOTS of step siblings, and one real brother. My brother and I have never really gotten along, but I love the butt head. We're polar opposites, and we fight all the time, but we love each other regardless.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and I love this gospel!!! It has saved my life on multiple occasions and I have so much love for my savior! I love the Book of Mormon and I don't know where I'd be without it!
I love anything outside. Running, biking, walking, and I LOVE hiking! I went on a different hike every week this summer with my best friend Summerlin, who, might I add, is one of the most beautiful people I have ever met inside and out. Anyway, I love being active. I used to be 220 pounds, I know, it kind of sounds impossible, but I was and it's very possible. But I've come a long way and I love being active and pushing my body to do things I couldn't do before. Being active ROCKS!
I like to cook and bake, but I don't do it very often. I'm decent at it, gimme a recipe and some ingredients and I can make anything!
I've been considering an LDS mission, but nothing's for certain yet. I've been trying to keep it on the down low, just in case I don't go and everyone asks questions.
I played soccer for a loooong time. And  I loved it so much. Soccer was my escape. If it was a bad day on game day, you better believe I put it all on the field.
My family is my greatest gift. I have the world's best mom. My step dad is pretty great. My brother has a huge heart. My cousins ROCK my world, and the rest of them are amazing as well!
My favorite color is orange, and I like those peach colored roses rather than the red ones. I'm weird, trust me, I know.
I will love you if you let me. I love all of Gods children, if I don't know you, I want to, and if I do know you, I love you! Even if we don't get along, I still have love for you. You are my brother/sister in the gospel, and I love you just for existing!
I love quotes. More than half of the pictures on my phone are of life quotes that I can either relate to, or keep me going.
I write music. I've been writing my own songs on guitar since I was about 12 years old, and I haven't ever really stopped.
I do this thing where if I really like a song, I'll play it over and over for days until can't stand it anymore. Because if I really like a song, that probably means it relates to how I'm feeling at that point of my life. That's my favorite part about music. Is when you hear a song that COMPLETELY relates to your situation, it means you're not alone. That someone, somewhere, wrote a song about something they went through, and they know exactly how you feel and put it into words.
Superman is my favorite hero. Always and forever.
I'm a hopeless romantic. I'm really hoping that someday, somebody is going to sweep me off my feet (both metaphorically and literally), and love me for all that I am. Quirks, imperfections, and all :)
I have always wanted to be kissed in the rain/snow. I think that's the cutest.
I won't beat around the bush with you. If I want to spend time with you, or I want something from you I'll ask. But once I get that time with you, you're going to have to ask me to spend time because otherwise I'll feel like I'm bugging you.
I refuse to play head games. If I like you, you'll know it because I'll make it a point to spend time with you, but you've got to put in some effort too. I'm not one to chase you around. I'm sitting, so if you want to come sit with me there's plenty of room.
My hair is a curly unmanageable mess. I try on Sundays to look my best for the Lord, but every other day of the week you really shouldn't expect that much.
I like food more than I like people. Yeah, it's probably not healthy...meh. I like all kinds of food and I will try anything at least once. So far I've had shark, frog legs, alligator, and escargot. Which I haven't liked all of them, but at least I can say I tried them.
I like things organized. A-Z, 123, biggest to smallest, you name it, I will organize it. Buuuut sometimes my room looks like a tornado went through it...whoops :)
I'm tall, but I still love to wear heels. Seriously, I love wearing heels. They make me feel confident and pretty, and I just like them so you're gonna have to deal.
I've been hanging out with people 5-10 years older than me since I was about 15 so I act older than I am, and I look older than I am...so inside my own head I'm older than I am but my birth certificate says otherwise...
If you ever need a hug, bring it on over, because I'm your gal on that one!
I love dancing, but only when I'm alone in my room. It's a lot less embarrassing that way.
I believe that all people are born good people, but that those who end up being not so good people are made that way by bad experiences in their lives. Which means I also believe that if you treat a person with respect consistently, they will learn to respect you.
I am not afraid of my future, because I know I can do all things through Christ.
My middle name is Eden.
And I wouldn't want to be anyone else but me.
So yeah, my name's Spenser.
With an S, not a C.
